“Pascal Siakam just schooled Giannis Antetokounmpo!”: NBA Twitter praise the Raptors forward following his triple-double performance against the former DPOY in 103-96 win over the Milwaukee Bucks
Raptors forward Pascal Siakam has been playing at an exceptional level for Toronto this season, making a strong case for an All-Star berth.
Winning the NBA championship and the MIP Award in 2019, Pascal Siakam was expected to have an exceptional season for the Raptors last year. But that wasn’t the case as there was a huge dip in the forward’s performance in 2020. To make matters worse, he had COVID along with a shoulder injury.
However, this season, Pascal Siakam, has come back, stronger than ever before. In fact, the 27-year-old is averaging 20.8 points per game. Moreover, he is averaging career highs of 8.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game. While his scoring has seen as a slight dip, his all-around game is good as ever.
